I've included a rough diagram I was hoping to get validation for. I'm less concerned about coverage as the diagram isn't to scale but more interested in whether the wired backhaul will work correctly in this design given the switches (required due to how the homes are wired, I will not be able to daisy-chain).

Re: Orbi Pro Design Validation (SRK60B06)

Hi DaneA,

Thank you for your response. I reviewed the link and just want to make sure the wired backhaul will work correctly if going from one switch to another before the router. In my diagram you will see 2 satellites pluging into a switch (Playhouse) then that switch is connected to the main switch (main house). The router is connected to the main switch.

If this works, are there any special considerations in how I power on and sync things?

Re: Orbi Pro Design Validation (SRK60B06)

So far I have the router and 3 satellites setup. In my experience thus far the recognition of new satellites has been inconsistent regardless of being added from Insight or Orbi app. Both apps say it failed but ultimately after a long 5-10 minutes of no response and self reboots they eventual show up.

When updating the firmware it is similar process and when checking for updates online it says none are are needed but what is installed is several revs behind. I ended up performing them manually from the web interface and had to do them one at a time even though it let me select them all for update.

Question: I will be needing more satellites than anticipated due to dead spots, what is the limit of satellites that can be added?

One (1) Orbi Pro router (SRR60) can now support up to seven (7) Orbi Pro satellites which is either the Orbi Pro Add-on Satellite (SRS60) or the Orbi Pro Add-on Ceiling Satellite (SRC60). Be reminded that the firmware of the Orbi Pro devices should be updated to the latest firmware version.

Note: The Orbi Pro WiFI System is NOT compatible to pair with the Orbi Home WiFi System.
